Simple way to format date

Question

I wrote a perl script to get datetime. It do work but I do wonder if there any easier way to format date as output.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use DateTime;

my $dt                 


        

Answer 1

Sure, use POSIX module:

The POSIX module permits you to access all (or nearly all) the standard POSIX 1003.1 identifiers.

Example:

use POSIX;
print POSIX::strftime('%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S', localtime());
